DA OWERLAND IS JUST THE THING, THE SERVICE IS JUST SUPER,
DA DRIVER WELCOMES ALL YOUR PETS, FOR NOO HE’S A POOPER SCOOPER.
A POSTIE’S LIFE IS NO EASY, AS YOU’RE ABOUT TO LEARN,
WIR POSTIE TRIED GOING DOON DA STAIR, SLIDING ON HIS STERN,
DA PAIN WAS SHARP, IT REALLY WAS NO FUN,
DELIVERING CHRISTMAS CARDS, WI NO SKIN ON HIS BUM,
HE THOUGHT DAT HE WAS PASSED DA WORST, HE COULD BEND BOTH UP AND DOWN,
WHEN A COO CAME RUNNING AT HIS VAN, AND TRIED TO RUN HIM DOWN,
SO AS HE SORTS DA LETTERS AND PARCELS FAE DA CLUBS,
HE HOPES ILL LUCKS NO IN THREES, AND MEETS MORE BITING DOGS.
FERRY SKIPPERS COMING A CROPPER ON A COUPLE OF PINTS, WILL BE RELIEVED TO BOW TO THE NEW MANS RULES, AND BE GOOD LADS FAE NOW ON.

WAS WIR YOUNG FISHERMAN ALL LIT UP WI DA JOYS O’ LIFE OR DID SOME O’ HIS DICKIE BIRDIES GET DA HICK-UP WHEN HE LOST DA HEAD, AS ROUND DA CORNER HE SPED AN HED TA STANK DA PICK-UP.
HE SERVED DA SOOTH END TROW THICK AN THIN, BUT SOMETHIN WE ALL TINK QUEER HE’S MISSED DA BEST BIT O’ IT, HAVING DA PLEASURE O’ OPENING DA PIER.
WIR NEW JETTY AT NIGHT IS AYE BUSY, WI SHELTERS AN SCOTTIES GALORE
DA NEXT THING THAT’S NEEDED IS A MARKET, WI NO CHILLING LIGHTS, AND AN OPEN BACK DOOR,
WHEN YOU NEED ICE, JUST R.S.H. A TINKLE, HE’LL COME LIKEA BOLT FAE DA BLUE
AN WI A LOCAL FISHERMAN COORTIN, DA WAST SIDE WILL SOON BE
HERE TOO.
DOGS, DOGS DIS ISLAND IS FULL O’ DEM, SOME O’ DEM YOU COULD SEE AFAR,

SPEEDING HOMEWARD BY DA VILLAGE HALL, HE KLINED DA SIERRA ALONG DA WALL, DAN FOR DA PARK HE COUNDNA WAIT, SO HE ROLLED DA RENAULT THROUGH DA GATE.
